I have not used the pulsion 3.69 but have used it in 6, 9 and 12. I have the wave in 4.5 and 6 as well. In higher winds I prefer the wave kites to the pulsions in the small sizes. I find they're easier to control and have a bit less power spike when you dive them. They sit a little deeper in the win...

I have never used a 3 m Peak. I do have a 3 m Concept Air Wave. I weigh about 80 kg and do my foiling mainly in freshwater lakes. I would guess I start using my 3 m in about 22 knots and have never found out what the top end is. Usually the most wind I kite in is 30 to 35 knots and that's not often ...

I also have the 99 and have used it a lot. Are you sure that the wing is absorbing water? I find that after using it if I hold it with the wing pointing up after a bit water leaks out around the fuselage. If I let it drain then put it away and then take it apart many days later there is still water ...

For small non-structural surface repairs I use automotive spot putty. It dries fast and is easy to sand. That allows you to contour it easily. I then use spray paint to cover it. Just make sure you put light coats of the paint so that it doesn't run. I've done it for years and it works perfectly.

I use a DUSTIN MIZER EARTH DUSTER WITH CRANK. I was able to blow up at 12 m Flysurfer Speed 2 in well under a minute. No battery needed. The white tube is removable and you can use it to let the air out of the kite as well. You can blow the kite up with just the hand crank portion without the tube a...

Out of curiosity I tried both my 48 cm and 60 cm masts winging. I felt the 48 was too short for winging. The 60 worked but it wasn't as much fun as my 71 or 75. I found winging In waves between knee and waist high worked on the 60 but I breached too often on the 48.

In the fall I sometimes use a 46 cm mast in one location to avoid long walk in the water to get started. I find it is still lots of fun and I rarely breach and if I do just pop back up. I have a mast about 5 cm shorter but have not used it once I got the 46. Below 46 is less fun. It is still usable ...

I got the 9 because after talking to Ben it sounded like it had the the improvements that I would like and it did. Could I have gotten by with the 8, yes of course. Glad I bought it. I have no problem landing them alone on land and on water safely every time and I use them a lot.

I got to try my new Concept Air Firefly V3 9 metre yesterday in 7 to 10 knots on a large fresh water lake (based on a wind metre about a kilometer away, there were very few white caps at the windiest point). I was using a 1500 cm. foil on a large floaty foil board. I also have the 8 metre V2 that I ...

I weigh 175 so I cannot advise you about what works at your weight but I have both the slingshot foils you mention. I would go with the Infinity 99 over the Quantum 100 for you. I like both but I use the 99 when the wind is really light as it starts earlier and will stay up at a slower speed. Of cou...
